19th-century kites were often made from lightweight materials such as bamboo frames and paper or fabric sails. They featured a variety of designs, including traditional shapes like the diamond and box kites, and were used for recreational purposes, scientific experiments, and even military signaling. The period also saw advancements in kite construction and aerodynamics, leading to more stable and higher-flying kites. Artists and inventors, like Alexander Graham Bell, experimented with kites, contributing to the development of early flight concepts.
During various wars kites have been used for scaring the enemy with sound and visual presence, marking troops on the ground, signaling, radio Ariel extentions, seeing over enemy lines, triangulation and tunnel building.
During World War I, flying kites was often prohibited due to concerns over military security and safety. Kites could potentially be used for reconnaissance or to carry messages, which posed risks to military operations. Additionally, the presence of kites could distract or confuse troops, and there were fears of them interfering with aircraft or artillery. Overall, the wartime environment led to strict regulations on activities that could compromise military effectiveness.
